This is the first exploit specific to snapdragon that I've ever heard of. Were there others?

Those are software bugs thoughe except the WLAN one. But Apple has had same kind of WLAN firmware vulns.

The software vulns demonstrate serious failures of the Qualcomm product package of course, and is only relevant from POV of how the fixes can be deployed.
